Description

The endKey query option does not work properly in HBase: Gora's query inteface defines it as 'inclusive' while HBase behaves 'exclusive'.

The tests have been @ignored temporarily (since 2014! "nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution" as shown at TestHBaseStore ([1]).

There is a "TODO" with the message "raise an issue for HBase to allow us to specify if the endRow will be inclusive or exclusive", but HBase documentation states:

"Note: In order to make stopRow inclusive add a trailing 0 byte"

So: I propose to update HBaseStore to conform Gora's interface based on HBase's solution.
